Israel has informed the International Criminal Court (ICC) that it will appeal against arrest warrants issued for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The Israeli government conveyed its decision to the ICC following the issuance of the warrants, which are related to alleged actions taken during recent military operations.
In a statement, Israeli officials emphasized their commitment to defending the nation’s leaders against what they consider unwarranted legal action. “We will take all necessary steps to ensure that justice prevails and that our leaders can continue to serve without undue interference,” a spokesperson said.
The arrest warrants have sparked significant attention internationally, raising questions about the ICC’s jurisdiction and the implications for Israel’s political landscape.
Observers note that this development could have far-reaching consequences for Israel’s diplomatic relations and its role in regional affairs.
